Ingredients

1 1/4 c flour plus 1/4 cup reserved for later
1/2 cup crushed oats or oat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 sticks butter soften
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg cardamon and all spice optional
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg beaten
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 -1 T cream or whole milk
Use less milk for thicker glaze

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together in one bowl all dry ingredients (except sugar). In a separate bowl cream the butter and sugar. Add in egg, honey and vanilla and mix well. Combine well with dry ingredients and form into a disk. Cover dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours or overnight. Split dough in two and cover in light coating of flour and roll out to 1/4-1/2 in thickness (thicker equals softer cookies) and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Bake for ~8-10 minutes until just starting to turn golden in color. Allow to cool before frosting. You can also sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar before baking if you don't want to frost them.
